Progressive Field Renovations

We’re very excited to begin construction on Progressive Field Reimagined to improve and extend the life of the ballpark.

The initial construction will begin after the All-Star Break with staging for the E. 9th Street building beyond right field, which will serve as a new kitchen and commissary for the Guardians concessionaire, as well as additional storage facilities for the ballpark.

Expected completion for this part of the renovation is prior to Opening Day 2024.

Due to this construction, there will be some minor alterations to the Family Deck activities including removal of the Wiffle Ball Field, Guardians Dash and the Batting Cage.

The construction of the E. 9th Street building will also remove the gate behind the large Diamond C statue as an option for exiting Progressive Field post-game. This will alter routes for fans exiting the ballpark, especially after postgame fireworks. Fans should either exit through the Right Field Gate immediately following games with Fireworks, or exit behind home plate near section 154 or through any gates down the third base line including the Left Field Gate following firework clearance.

We are determined to continue providing a compelling fan experience and we thank you for your understanding during this transitional period.

Throughout this construction project and beyond, we are also committed to supplier diversity and workforce participation. Please visit our Community Benefits Program page (cleguardians.com/CBP) for regular updates and more details.

To allow for the clubhouse expansion, a new four-level E. 9th street building will be erected in right field to allow for a new kitchen and commissary for the Guardians concessionaire, as well as additional storage facilities for the Ballpark.

The revamped Upper Deck will feature multiple social spaces for fans to enjoy the game. The new-look Upper Deck will feature a Beer Garden down the left field line, a new group outing space in right field, and new concession spaces, including two new View Box bars that will flank home plate and allow for more open sightlines from the Upper Deck concourse.

The current Terrace Club will be reimagined as an open-air hub with terraced-ticketed seating on the 200 and 300-levels, and a new expansive authentic-to-Cleveland Beer Hall food and beverage experience on the 400-level that will be open to all ticketed patrons at Progressive Field. The ticketed seating sections will have their own private club space on the 300-level.

The new Dugout Club will combine the best of both worlds when it comes to premium seating, allowing for the same great field-level seats that currently exist while creating a new exclusive lounge behind home plate. The Club will also feature seven private lounges to allow for groups to enjoy an exclusive experience.

Both clubhouses, as well as the ballpark Service Level, will be updated for the first time since the ballpark opened in 1994. The new home clubhouse will be completely reimagined with a focus on player amenities in performance, training and recovery.

The Guardians Front Office will also be fully renovated for the first time since 1994. As part of the renovation, the Guardians will add a fifth floor to the current four-level structure.

The funding for the projects will be supported by the new lease agreement which extends the current lease to 2036 (with potential options to extent to 2046) and was agreed upon between the City of Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, State of Ohio, the Gateway Economic Development Corporation and the Cleveland Guardians. The estimated total of the projects will be $202.5 million with $67.5 million coming from the Cleveland Guardians. The Guardians are also responsible to provide additional funds to cover cost overages, if any, that may result from the projects.
